Raise your glass to boozy cocktails, straight pours, whiskeys from all over the world and more at Reserve 101.
Located in the heart of Downtown just a few blocks from Discovery Green, this friendly, neighborhood haunt is beloved for its frequent tastings, bar bites, and of course, their large selection of whiskey.
Featuring a whiskey list that has taken years to curate along with many other Southern spirts, guests can dive into their informative list which is broken down by distillery, country, state, and region or feel free to pick the brain of any one of their highly trained staff.
Opened by childhood friends Mike Raymond and Steve Long in 2008, the deliberately unpretentious bar offers more than 330 whiskeys from 12 different countries, ranging from the Glenmorangie Pride 1978 ($750/shot) to more than 100 whiskeys for $10 or less.
In addition to the whiskey, the warm, understated bar features a full bar stocked with vodka, rum, gin and more than 40 bottled and draft beers, with Happy Hour on Monday to Saturday from 2pm to 6pm.
